Requirement Engineering for a Small Project with Pre-Specified Scope

Abstract

This paper describes the requirements engineering process developed for
the EU-funded project Analysis of MassIve DataSTreams (AMIDST). The
process adopts a use case based approach to requirements engineering (RE),
that is tailored to the specific characteristics of the AMIDST project. These
characteristics include a relatively small group of developers, a pre-defined
project scope, stakeholders from different industries, and the development of
a general software framework that can be instantiated according to the needs
of the stakeholders. The resulting methodology is sufficiently general to be
of relevance for similar development projects.
